Alternatively roll film with paper carrier

I bought an 18 x 150 foot roll of black paper to test as a roll film carrier. I cut a piece to wind 70mm film (on a 116 spool) and marked the frames with a silver marker. A few things. The paper is 4 mil (0.004 inch) thick, just like Kodak's film base, except this paper is uncoated, which I consider a minor inconvenience as the paper doesn't hold up easily. this "curl" but after being left curled alone for a few weeks, she retains part of the curl. Next up, it looks great like it could get the job done and it passed the prototype test just fine. I pointed the LED flashlight at Kodak paper at close range and it didn't leak out in subdued daylight (indoors) but doing the same thing with this paper despite being the same thickness, the light leaked out, remembered at that moment to very, very dark parchment paper. At that point I had already shot and developed one roll of film. I haven't had time to take prints so I can only confirm the negatives at a glance - there is no visible haze. I noticed that two layers of this paper do not let the LED light through, but the foil is secure when rolled up. I was really expecting fogging, so while fast-forwarding the film I turned my back to the sun to protect the number viewing window. Eventually I'd like it coated and a little more "flooded" so a layer of paper doesn't let light through, but for what's readily available these days it's a viable alternative to regular roll film. paper backing. Have fun experimenting!
